The Collector appreciated the theme. He said: If we gather at any function or any meeting we use to talk about routine things first then end up with the enquiry of sugar level. If you do not have any sugar, it indicates a poor social status! 780million people suffer from diabetes. I like to thank Dr. Thomas Paul and Dr. Nihal Thomas and all your team members and doctors,. not only that you are also bring this subject to the knowledge of student community, ….they are the future generations. We need a healthy generation for the future of India. Obesity is the main problem facing developing countries I think it is the correct time to correct our lifestyle how to live, diabetes can be driven away by following a correct physical work pattern and a healthy life style, robust exercise and balanced diet. These are the three things we have to follow. The junk food is the main culprit behind obesity now a days the younger generation faces. The Government of India and Government of Tamil Nadu are concerned about the problem. You must have heard from the RBSK scheme is being implemented by the both the government the doctors are visiting all government schools and screening the children. They mainly find out the major elements like heart problem or lungs and whatever is major. As far as diabetes is concerned, there is not much of a focus. So Dr. Thomas suggested, that a health team and health conscious committee can be constitute in the schools and colleges to find out the student has got the diabetes or related problems. Not only that, these health related issues.
That is also a welcome idea also, we can do that. So much of private, CBSC, and matriculation schools are now a days form their own teams in some of the states in India. So we can also implement the same here as well. So through … dance is also one of the finest art forms of human being we learn from olden days. So dance is also essential for human being that has been highlighted today. I wish to congratulate all the college and school students who shown their talents today. We are very much appreciated their talents here. This evening has become a lively thing for all the CMC doctors and general public not only for the diabetes and well being for the human community.
